Reciting from the qisaar-e-mufassal in Maghrib Salaah
Question
Our local Imaam recites long Surahs in Maghrib Salaah and very short Surahs in Esha Salaah. My understanding is that it should be other way around. Please advise the correct procedure especially in the light of the sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
Answer
Your understanding is right. The Maghrib should be from the qisaar-e-mufassal and Esha should be from the awsaat-e-mufassal.
And Allah Ta`ala knows best
